As fun as such an occupation may sound, Sketch's life is about to get much more interesting.

The next film in the series, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, was recently given a Dec. The most recent installment, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, was released to critical success and has grossed over $400 million at the global box office, making it the highest-grossing video game adaptation in U.S. Perhaps most notable is Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog franchise starring Jim Carrey and Ben Schwartz. The two projects come at a watershed moment for Sega - and video game films in general - which have recently had successes previously unseen among the genre.

Collectively, Feig's films have grossed more than $12 billion worldwide, according to Variety. A Hollywood mainstay, Feig is known for producing Academy Award winners such as The Hurt Lockerand La La Land, as well as more teen-oriented features like The Hunger Games and the Divergent series. Comix Zone will revolve around 'a jaded comic book creator and a young, queer writer of color who, when sucked into the final issue of his popular series, must put aside their differences to stop a dangerous supervillain from sowing complete destruction - and in the process wittily explore the ever-evolving power of storytelling itself.'īoth films are being helmed by Sega in collaboration with indie studio Picturestart, a production company founded by Erik Feig. The film will reportedly be a loose adaptation of the game, which was released in 1995 and set within the panels of a comic book as the player progressed through the in-game world. The news was first broken by The Hollywood Reporter, and later confirmed in a press release from Sega. On the heels of this recent success in mainstream Hollywood, the company is now developing a feature film based on one of their popular 1990s video games: the beat' em up classic Comix Zone.

Today, though, Sega has since branched out into different markets, including film production, finding success with the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. Video game titan Sega became known in the 1990s for dominating the emerging gaming industry.
